NSMNSS twitter takeover: social media & social scientists in action!

I've been NSMNSS twitter manager for a few weeks now. It's a
fantastic opportunity to extend my network, to understand how social
media is shaping social science, and to champion the use of social media
within teaching, learning, research and engagement.

Whilst it's been an enjoyable few weeks, my voice alone is not
doing justice to the diversity and wealth of research and interest in
this area. There are so many different perspectives on the impact of
social media within the NSMNSS community and beyond.
Therefore we want to open up the account by inviting social scientists
using social media and/or carrying out research in this area to become
NSMNSS curators.

Each curator will take over the Twitter account for the week and
share content and thoughts of interest to our followers. If you would
like to curate the NSMNSS account, I would love to hear from you. Please
contact me by email: j.m.condie@salford.ac.uk or
twitter @nsmnss @jennacondie.

About NSMNSS

Should social science researchers embrace social media and, if we do, what are the implications for our methods and practice? This network, led by NatCen Social Research and SAGE along with our affiliate supporters (see below) is for people using or seeking to use social media in social science research who want to explore the implications of that question.
